Topic: New Stuff from BeNScale (Read 1933 times)

Last night I finally met Ben face to face. Thankfully, he had a box of goodies in tow.

Most important thing is that he finally got the injected molded equipment cabinets— he'll be updating the web site soon.He's also working on a new connector system for the signals— so you can unplug signals for module transport (the "base" is so tall in the pictures is that we stacked up a few of them to clear the connector).

Sorry for the crappy photo quality, just had my phone handy with no macrolens.

Parts sprue for the equipment cabinets:

He'll have more stuff rolled out by the SPHTS convention, including an HO Scale product line.

Nice. Will the signals also come as a kit, or are they RTR. I never heard of BenScale before, and I usually have an ear on the rail of n scale.

Ben site is at : http://www.benscale.com/ Glad to see that my "suggestion" for David result in several new announcements ( Showcase relay box with open doors , NTZ east coast relay box and finally Ben releasing this one) ... really good news for my SP searchlights signals Sincerely

He then has a small cable which attaches to this, on one end is a male connector, and the other end looks like a telephone handset jack. Resistors are included in the cable. NOTE: A dual head signal has two telco connectors. The nice thing about the telco jacks is that the wire is color coded (red->red, yellow->yellow, green->green, black->power).
